Look around, there's usually F body gatherings all over Fayettenam. They used to hang out at Raeford in the Advance Auto parking lot, not sure if they still do.

Still here but only 28 more days....woohooo repeat...

My car will be there the same day I get in, Motor is almost assembled and tranny was already purchased. The car curently has an LS6 in her belly which is going into a jeep to make a rock crawler.... a big one at that.

So I will be home soon and be looking for some stuff to do during the week, weekend will be pretty full catching up with my wife, though there will be times for crusing on some weekends too.

Looking forward to meeting you guys.

whats the deal with the area around bragg? it sounds like a real **** hole. i've been wanting to apply for an assignment over there in the next year or two but the area sounds more dangerous than the job.

Fayetteville is usually referred to as the armpit of North Carolina. I've been here for about 6 years now (Pope AFB). It's not that bad. But I don't spend too much time in Fayetteville. I live in a pretty nice housing development north of Fayetteville. It takes me 20 minutes to get in the hanger on base to work, 20 minutes to downtown Fayetteville, and about 50 minutes to Raleigh. The male - female ratio is like 10-1...but I havn't done too bad. It's really what you make of it.

Zeus has it nailed. If you are looking to hook up with a chick, you have to go anywhere but in the 'nam unless you don't mind one that is a skank and/or has several kids and is on welfare. Been there done that.

They do have a track that is so-so. Lots of places to eat. But lots of slime *****, shady businesses (looking to rape the military) and discourteous people. Traffic is bad too. Lots of bars and clubs but no real attractions. Bragg is said to be one of the best places to hunt deer.

I just did PCS from Pope after an 8.5 year over extended tour there.

Zeus I'm surprised you haven't gotten orders out of Pope yet.

Fayetteville's is NOT that bad. There are bad parts of town just like anywhere else. I've lived here almost ten years. Just stay away from those places and you'll be fine. There are lots of shittier places to be stationed.

Spent 14 years there. If you're looking for chicks, it's best to go to the small towns away from nam. For a couple of years I lived in Laurinburg with a buddy. About a 40 minute drive to work. We had more girls than we knew what to do with. Hell, the chicks in those towns go to nam on the weekends to hook up with gi's, so if you actually have a pad in those towns you are good to go. If I see a sign with fayetteville city limit again I think I'll slice my wrists. Half the town is retired military. How someone can make the decision to live there forever is beyond me.
